Vicair… relief by air

Everyone deserves to live a carefree life. Even when you are physically disabled. Vicair offers ‘relief by air’: ultimate distribution of pressure, stable positioning, comfort and, above all, a simple and reliable solution.

We welcome you to our website. We hope to provide you with all the information that you need and give you an impression of what Vicair and the Vicair products stand for.

Vicair ® Academy wheelchair cushions are worldwide known for their unique combination of high-quality pressure distribution and optimal positioning. They offer a solution in every situation. Academy wheelchair cushions are used with persistent relapsing pressure ulcers, when creating comfort is the goal, for mobility improvement, for symmetric and asymmetric shaped bodies or when simply a reliable low-maintenance cushion is needed.

The Vicair Adjuster

An individual solution for every sort of asymmetry, even the extreme kinds. Stability and positioning are the key-words. Use the Adjuster for instance with foot propulsion. The filling of one of the front compartments can easily be adjusted. The cushion offers the necessary body support while improving the posture. The Academy Adjuster is a wheelchair cushion that can be used in cases such as hemiplegia (CVA), amputations and Spina Bifida.

To guarantee a comfortable position, you sometimes need lateral stability. The Academy Positioner provides extra pelvic stability, because of its lateral trochanter (thigh) support. This has a very positive effect on the body’s posture. It enhances the functionality of the upper body and increases a person’s reach. The Positioner can be used in cases such as ALS, MS (Multiple Sclerosis), paraplegia and spasms.
